Energy Storage $548 BN being invested in battery capacity by 2050. Funding for long-term energy storage developmentof 10-100 hours. A key to succeeding at storage is to combinemany different applications: (1) Standalone battery (2) Tolling agreement where the battery owner stores electricity for the local utility for a fee – e.g. 110 MW AES Southland project in southern California. (3) Buy-sell model - Battery owner buys power during off-peak periods when the electricity is cheap and sells it back to the grid during peak hours. (4) Storage added to a solar or wind project - Regulates the ramp rate, earns additional revenue by providing ancillary services.
